Happy Valentine's Day!

Yeah, it's 5:30pm & I'm just now wishing you a Happy VD! (lol... my guy loves saying that!) See, our main computer is on the fritz ... and T's been working for days to fix it ... and he's still playing, I mean, working on it. In the meantime, I can use our laptop - which is slower than molasses - or my Blackberry (aren't I special?) - all of which comes down to, I'm not online much so not sharing me here much. Aren't you sad? *lol*

ANYWAY - THANK YOU, Mikki! I won one of her giveaways in OWOH - an awesome bracelet! I'll share a picture when I'm back on our 'real' computer.

Speaking of gifts ... guess what I got for VDay from T? Tickets to the CBJ game in March against the Boston Bruins! WHOO HOO! We have family in Massachusetts who are staunch Bruins fans - it's always fun when our teams play one another.

Of course that means that week in March - I'll be toast. The game is one night, the Nickelback concert is the next. Yep, I'm going with K & her friend to see Nickelback, Seether & Hinder (I think that's who the other two groups are). I'm probably too old to be standing in general admission but ... I'm going! I so love Nickelback!!

And today, I bought the latest issue of Artful Blogging. I can't wait to be back on the real computer so I can play & explore the blogs shown. There are some wonderful tips for making one's blog better so of course I'll have to see what I can do.

I hope you're having a wonderful Valentine's Day and know that there are people everywhere who love you for you.

Hi there! Happy Valentine's day and yes, in response to your question, spring really will come to Ohio, but I am sorry to say, it will be a little while! Why, oh why didn't we move to a warmer climate when we were young and jobless?! I've never explored artful blogging before, sounds interesting!!

BTW, your comment that you are "too old" for general admission reminded me of something that happened to us. One year I bought my husband tickets to see No Doubt. The traffic was horrendous (even the band got there an hour late), but my husband drove past the two jam-packed exit lanes all the way up to the actual freeway exit, where a cop was parked, making sure that everyone turned right toward the concert venue. My husband drove right up to him and asked how we could turn left. "I'm sorry, sir" he told us. "You will have to go through that lane to the right and make a U-turn." He then ushered us into an empty lane that led right into free premium parking. As we drove past the hundreds of cars mired in traffic we suddenly realized he thought we were too old to be going to that concert!! We laughed our way all the way into the parking lot!!

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. John Muir

In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November.Rose G. Kingsley

Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.Vincent van Gogh

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world.~Adabella Radici
